Genevieve Cortese spent her childhood with three siblings in her hometown until the age of 13, when the family moved to Whitefish, Montana, and later relocated to Sun Valley, Idaho. Upon matriculation, she enrolled at the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, from which she graduated with a BA degree in English and then with a BFA degree in Drama. While in college, she also went to the Stella Adler Acting Studio and Atlantic Theater Co, with the purpose of becoming an actress.
Right after graduation, Genevieve began her acting career live on stage, appearing in such productions as “Crimes Of The Heart”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and “Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”, among several others, in various regional theaters, all of which marked the beginning of her net worth. In 2004, she made her debut film appearance in the role of Amber in “Death Valley”, which was followed by a supporting role in an episode of the TV series “The Dead Zone” in 2005. During the same year, she also starred as Ashley Harris in the film entitled “Kids In America”, directed by Josh Stolberg, and was chosen to portray Kris Furillo in the TV series “Wildfire”, which lasted until 2008, steadily increasing her net worth.
When the filming was ended in 2008, Genevieve won the role of Ruby in the hit TV series “Supernatural”, created by Eric Kripke, starring alongside her future husband Jared Padalecki. She was cast in the TV series until the following year, when she was cast as Tracy Stark in another TV series, entitled “Flashforward” (2009-2010). To speak further about her acting career, her last appearance was in Lee Madsen’s film “Hated”, playing Veronica, in 2012, and since then she has been inactive in the entertainment industry. Nonetheless, all of these roles added a considerable amount to her net worth.
When it comes to speak about her personal life, Genevieve Cortese has been married to actor Jared Padalecki since February 2010; the couple has three children together, one reason for her hiatus from acting. They divide their time between their residences in Austin, Texas and Los Angeles, California. In whatever spare time she has, she enjoys running, snowboarding and reading.
